So starts with a gas smell inside the truck only for some time after fill ups, no smell outside the rig…
I read a bunch of threads and lots of stuff said to check the vent lines, check for pinholes, etc etc…
But here’s another symptom that may contribute to this, they may make the smell make more sense, correct me if I’m wrong, because the gas smell definitely goes away with time, more than miles…
When I fill up, EVERY TIME, the gas spits out at me if I’m not super careful with my ears, listening for the gas filling up… I’m thinking that when it spits, some liquid gas is flowing down the vent line on the metal filler hose, and then weeping through that one rubber vent line on passenger rear quarter panel.
So finally my question… what can I do to make the gas not spit during fill ups? Besides just be careful?
I’ll replace the vent line or at least tighten the clamps, I think the hose looks fine or has been replaced.
